He's been coached up by a great College QB coach / system but some are not high on him due to his underwhelming tape.

Whether you're right or not about DJ, I really enjoyed reading your response. You made a clear, coherent case for your opinion of his potential. That's what I like about the debate on this site - knowledgeable posters with strong opinions and the ability to back them up.

I'm with you on this. In my opinion, I think DL and maybe tackle are only positions I wouldn't draft at #15. Although I'm not sure on tackle part, Trent is getting old and Moses regressed last year. If a highly-regarded tackle falls to us then I might be open to it. We will have a rookie QB (either this year or next year), we might as well as strengthen Oline to protect the rookie in long run.

Thanks KI! There is no site like WP, everyone is knowledgeable on this page. I have been a member since High School (damn I'm old) and its made being a Redskins fan during a dark and sad time much easier.

As you already know there are certain position like LT, Edge Rusher, CB and QB that hold so much value, that even if you are loaded at that position, you take it anyway. Reason being those positions hold huge trade value because most teams need them. You can later trade an extra strong LT or CB for a need position or two.
Back when we had a good FO we used to do that. I remember at one point we had Joe Jacoby and Ed Simmons and still got Jim Lachey. Now we just draft kind shitty.

a solid midlevel QB is more valuable than a ProBowl WR. We need to go QB.

I'm with you 110%. I'm tired of this "Lets go sign a FA QB" Bullshit. This fanbase is STARVED for a Franchise QB.

Thought we had him in RG3, then Kirk... Now it's time to draft a guy, I dont care if he's not a "SEXY" Pick, we need a young QB to come lead this franchise. WR won't do you any good if he has no QB to get him the ball. Ask Santana Moss and Coles , etc.

I am skeptical.

Time will tell of course.

Tough to tell every yr, nobody thought Mahomes was that great. I think Haskins is the real deal, in the right situation. Have to give him time to throw and good playmakers. Lock looks like a Jay Cutler type, Murray is the wildcard. I really really like Grier
